With this agreement, Boryeong City has further expanded its global network and strengthened its position as a cooperative city in Asia.
On November 7, Boryeong City paid an official visit to Ulaanbaatar City Hall, where it signed the friendship and cooperation agreement with Deputy Mayor Amartuvshin and the Director of International Cooperation, among other city officials, according to an announcement on November 10.
This MOU was promoted to establish a future-oriented cooperation system and to pursue joint prosperity between the two cities.
During the signing ceremony, the two cities agreed to cooperate in four key areas: cultural and tourism exchanges that blend tradition and modernity; revitalization of economic exchanges; mutual visit programs for students and teachers; and joint efforts toward carbon neutrality and climate change response.
Mayor Kim Dongil stated, "This agreement will serve as a starting point for both cities to share their strengths and grow together," adding, "We will create tangible outcomes by connecting Boryeong's marine and tourism resources with Ulaanbaatar's cultural and educational infrastructure."
Meanwhile, the city plans to form a working-level council as a follow-up to this agreement and to gradually implement concrete exchange projects, such as joint cultural events and eco-friendly initiatives.
